Network for LIFE National Contact Points

Introduction

Net4LIFE will be a project serving the scopes of the Call for “Fostering the Network of LIFE National Contact Points”. Net4LIFE is an intervention aiming to stimulate international cooperation amongst LIFE-NCPs, towards an improved, more effective, more consistent, and professionalized service across Europe.

Objectives

Hence, Net4LIFE facilitates the exchange of knowledge and experience between LIFE-NCPs across Europe, thereby strengthening their competences, capitalizing on best practices and tools, and improving the overall support provided to LIFE applicants. This will ultimately increase overall successful participation.

Methodologies

Condensing literature relevant to knowledge management and transnational capacity-building, as well as capitalizing on lessons learned by paradigm projects funded by the EU as NCP network projects, Net4LIFE will follow the methodologies, techniques, practices, and approaches of:

1. Networking through transnational intercultural cooperation.
2. Capacity-building through knowledge-sharing and experience-sharing.
3. Expertise-sharing and KnowHow-exchanging through twinnings and staff visits.
4. Skills-enhancing through network-wide trainings and hands-on working events.
5. Network-wide tools development through capitalizing on and updating existing tools and best practices.
